It seems to be an official job for Stars on Ice, so why wouldn't he be paid for it? Maybe not a hefty sum, I suppose, but it's a real experience in reporting and I suppose he's already preparing his post-competitive career, though I hope he can compete a few years more.
@el henry Did you ever get an answer to this? Ashley Shin is a skater who spent some time in Monument when Jason and Emily were there. I don't remember if it was just a summer thing or what, but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing her in ig pics there for a while.
Just realized I'm not getting notifications for this watched thread that has been watched for forever! Cannot have that! Just did an unwatch/watch. Hope it helps!
Good luck to Jason in SOI Canada! Looking forward to seeing tidbits!

No I didn't, so I guess I don't know absolutely everything about Jason.
Love this cast photo. Can I just say that in the first photo Jason is the only one truly channeling Bond (which is one of group numbers I understand). Bond didn't look like an assassin, even when he was serious. Just like Jason.
[2023JSOI OSAKA]Stars on Ice Japan 大阪でのJasonのQ&Aです。いつものようにジェスチャーを交えて表情豊かに答えてくれました。3月の羽生さんのショーで来日して、埼玉でのWorld、大阪JSOI、このQ&Aの後、岩手と横浜でのJSOIそれから東京のWTTと忙しいスケジュール全部...
Interview with Rohene, where he of course talks about Jason, but many other skaters and issues as well. Worth the read.
Rohene has words for the judges:
I was talking to a judge and they were like, ‘Oh, we didn't give [Jason] a 10 [for PCS] because the triple axel entrance was too long.’ And I said, ‘Well, have you ever gotten triple axel?’ And he said no, and I said, ‘Ok.’ Because [Jason] did hold the edge long, but the way he held the edge—I mean, it's still controlled and the lean into the circle, which you don't see people do correctly. So yes, it was a longer edge, but it was a correct, controlled, beautiful edge. People don't understand how difficult it is to be as good as he is.
This tweet has a picture of the whole cast in their colored costumes.
Based on this picture, I would say that Jason is orange, Patrick Chan is blue, Satoko is turquoise/blue and Loena is green. I could identify Jason and Patrick from the video, but had to use the picture to id the women.
I attended the ITNY gala performance tonight and as I thought, Jason skated a show version of "Melancholy" to enthusiastic cheers and a standing O. The place was packed as you can imagine with lots of well heeled donors going to the fundraising dinner afterwards. I alas, am too poor to attend the dinner, but seeing Jason skate in person was a real treat, since I'm not able to go to SOI this year since it's not hitting the NYC tri state area. I also loved seeing Rohene. I also saw that Karina Manta is part of the troupe now, since her retirement from ID.
Quality of my video isn't great due to the spotlight but it'll do. I'm sure there will be other fancams out there.
